Exercise – Responding Empathically?
We worked through all sentences and if the answer was not empathic, we worked in a dialogue and tried to be present with feelings and needs, asking “Are you feeling ____?” and “Are you needing ______?”
This is the main formula. You can vary it to make it more natural.
